Polar opposite seasons in 2018 and 2019. A level of scheme fit is necessary. Below-average arm strength and average release quickness. Tends to work into more condensed areas of the field. Steep drop in accuracy on intermediate throws outside the numbers. Requires top-notch timing for out-breaking throws as a pro. Saw nose of ball dive on some throws field-side. Spotty high/low combo throws against long boundary CBs when they play it low to high. Early issues handling Clemson's disguised blitz packages. Scheme created clearer reads and easier one-on-one throws. Took sacks he didn't need to Burrow’s arm talent was actually his weakness. This is his draft profile weaknesses on NFL.com. He was smart not to throw with Herbert at the combine. Also this was about top QB picks not throwing at the combine not arm strength. I’m just stating it’s becoming more common lately minus Kenny Pickett. I think you are just holding this against Bryce because you are frustrated at our situation and I understand that.

Gary is no Garry…

We should have drafted AD to have an even more Texas draft. AD, Brooks, and Sanders.

More recently Joe Burrow.

He might be my favorite rookie. I’d love for him to become our next 3rd Leg Greg!

He is an easy coach to cheer for. I hope he works out for us.

They are projecting him to be cleared by training camp. He appears to be ahead of schedule. They still should ease him in early on. “Honestly, as far as rehab goes, it’s good,” Brooks said. “I’m out there, I’m running, I’m about to start cutting. So I’m progressing well. I’m right on track on where I need to be. For me to get back to camp, it’s also just a blessing. I feel like this injury’s a blessing from God just being that it gives me a chance to focus on a lot of other things.

Thank you for your service Juan.

It keeps the big DTs out of his space. I believe that's what he is implying. Georgia's talented DTs were able to get in the pocket limiting his view. That's why he wanted to roll out. If you are going on size of the OL vs QB then Tua at 6' even isn't seeing over Robert Hunt last year.

Seems like he is a large sized WR that actually plays like it! AD was my guy, but I am excited to see what XL can do.

Without a doubt one of his worst games. He got pressured early and remained off all game. He got happy feet and could never really settle back down.

I would be hesitant to judge an Reich Ramble quote last year as he contradicted himself on the regular. The first thing he mentioned "point blank" was simply confusing the defense. To me he was talking about other teams doing this like the Saints (I doubt he thought Brees was limited), and himself in the past (I doubt he thought Luck/Wentz were limited). After mentioning what all Dalton can do he talks about how he can come in a execute one play well and not many QBs can do this (which is not even true). I think he was just giving his vet praise and mentioning he wanted to use him more than just a backup AKA he can do multiple things. I will say your under center comment holds some weight though. I originally took it as you implying Reich saying Young was a physically limited QB and Dalton can do things he can't physically do he benched him. (even if he believed this it would be dumb to state to the press) Under center and different formations for a rookie not comfortable with that on fourth down makes some sense. In fact he put him in later in the year on 4th and short and did the fake handoff roll out for the first. So maybe that was the case?

Not when the GOAT Dalton played!

You are still making a leap on what his was implying based on your personal beliefs. Reich mentions how many teams are starting to use backup QBs in that scenario and how he did it with Brissett at Indy to keep defenses confused. Dalton being able to do “more than one thing” was mentioned as more of a backup and situational player. He goes on to mention how since Dalton is a vet, he can come in for one play and execute it well without playing all game. I took it as he has multiple uses for Dalton vs the standard backup player. Also I believe Dalton installed his on plays and Reich let him because he is a vet. Honestly it all just shows how much Reich loves vets, wanted Carr, and was the wrong guy to develop a rookie QB. “I wouldn’t say that that was the case,” he replied when asked if Young hadn’t taken the same openings Dalton did on Sunday. “I probably called a few more. And there were one or two things that Andy specifically asked for, which I don’t wanna go into detail on. But there were a couple things that he specifically asked for.”

Regardless being a rookie it’s usually better to play them early. I wish it wasn’t at Chicago though.

Got Caleb early. Good.

Haha suck it Daniel Jones!

He just gave his opinion. Cam kind of calls it like he sees it. Got backlash calling Purdy the game manager he is and now Cam isn’t afraid to say he was wrong about Bryce being QB1. Anyone will tell you Stroud should have been the pick using hindsight. Why is going against an Alabama QB a big deal vs an OSU QB? I’m confused by this as I believe Young was the first Bama QB to go 1 overall. Mac didn’t, Tua didn’t, Hurts didn’t even make round 1? I think maybe just maybe Young was a top QB to a lot of people/analysts. I know you and I plus a lot of people on here wanted Stroud but I believe Young was ranked QB1 more times than not. Regardless Stroud still went 2 and to a better team/coach. It worked out in his favor as he is now a new face of the NFL vs Young still being a question mark or even written off by some.

He did speak a year ago. https://www.si.com/nfl/2023/04/27/cam-newton-touts-bryce-young-panthers-no-1-nfl-draft-pick#:~:text=Add Cam Newton to the,in the 2023 NFL draft. He is talking about hindsight now. He said Young will take time and CJ came out on fire. Before the draft he was all about Young though. Smith also wanted Young.

Yeah I remember that. I think that’s all the other poster was mentioning. Probably a little Panthers PR. I guess the fan could have cheered for injuries earlier and the INT cheer pushed him over the edge but who knows….

Reich had the same offense for Dalton as Bryce and you are correct Dalton himself wrote in some plays to incorporate. Since he was a veteran he let him do it. The thing that people are off on is the sudden deep passing game. There were 2 out of 60 passes completed for over 20 yards. One was like 27 to wide open Chark with 20 YAC and the other was like 23 to AT. Hence why the average was still 6.6 per attempt....
